1000BASE-XD
The Model 1000BASE-XD GBIC provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity using
SC duplex single-mode fiber connectors. High-performance optical transceivers
enable Gigabit Ethernet link distances up to 50 kilometers (km) over single-mode
fiber. The ports operate in full-duplex mode only.
Table 52 describes standards, connectors, cabling, and distance for the Model
1000BASE-XD GBIC.
